$300K+ Awarded in Scholarships for 2018-19
UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management had the honor of recognizing over 100 students with nearly 120 scholarships. The auditorium was filled with friends and family members to celebrate the achievements these students have accomplished. This year’s Award Ceremony took place on Tuesday, October 30, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. in the Darden Auditorium, with a reception that followed in the Disney Dining Room, where food and beverages were served. These students stand out from the rest, as approximately 800 scholarship applications were submitted. Considering Rosen College usually receives about a third of that number in submissions, this breaks the record for submissions by a substantial margin. The committee screened a total of 272 applicants.
The scholarships are distributed over two semesters, one half for the current or fall semester, and the other half for the spring semester. Harris Rosen himself attended the event to award the scholarships, along with Dr. Youcheng Wang; this is his first year as Dean of Rosen College. Dr. Robin Back returned again this year as the Master of Ceremonies. These men, as well as the many scholarship sponsors, all appeared in order to support the students. We congratulate all of the students and thank our generous donors and partners for their support.
